• Experience integrating UI with real-time data sources (TCP/IP, UDP, serial, CAN, DDS, etc.).
• Knowledge of multithreading, performance optimisation, and memory management.
• Familiarity with aerospace/automotive domain software practices or mission-critical systems.
• Good understanding of UX principles for operator consoles and mission planning systems.
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills.

Desirable Skills

• Experience with GIS/Mapping libraries (OpenSceneGraph, Cesium, Marble, etc.).
• Knowledge of OpenGL, Vulkan, or 3D visualisation frameworks.
• Exposure to DO-178C or aerospace software compliance.
• Familiarity with UAV ground control software (QGroundControl, Mission Planner, etc.) or similar mission systems.
• Experience with Linux and cross-platform development (Windows/Linux).
• Scripting knowledge in Python for tooling and automation.
• Background in defence, aerospace, automotive or embedded systems domain.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge aerospace and defence technologies.
